62: Chapter 61 Good News (Part 2) 62: Chapter 61 Good News (Part 2) Afternoon.
The devil’s ivy in the office looked a bit wilted.
Its leaves lay limp on the surface of the water, only the tips of its roots perked up, as if the tender body were enticingly lifting its buttocks, sowhat provocative.
In the corner of the windowsill, the feather duster stood diagonally, its bristles bright and erect, as though wielding so authoritative power, exuding a proud air.
Wu Jun answered a phone call, then beckoned to Jiang Yuan, “The person scheduled for an injury assessnt has arrived, let’s go together.”
“Alright,” Jiang Yuan quickly agreed, picking up his cap and getting up.
Watching Jiang Yuan obediently put on his police cap, Wu Jun gave a slight nod of approval.
His trainee was not only skilled but also of good character, respected the rules, and was comfortable to work with.
Wu Jun intended to ntor him closely.
Injury assessnt is the most routine work for a forensic doctor, especially in smaller towns where there are very few homicides a year and even fewer abnormal deaths.
Most cases involve injuries.
Moreover, with the deepening of public awareness, people now understand that if they are injured, they can lie on the ground and choose a car to take them away, and if the injury is serious enough that they can’t use their phone, they can let soone nearby help them choose a hospital.
The socialite from earlier years who would briskly wipe off the blood and continue to drink and eat skewers has long since disappeared from sight.
However, injury assessnts can be conducted either in the town or at a judicial appraisal office in the city, which helps distribute the workload so it isn’t too heavy.
When Jiang Yuan first joined the job, he encountered the body of Seventeenth Uncle and later showed his expertise in fingerprint analysis, which ant he had less experience with injury assessnts.
Compared to forensic pathology’s corpse dissection, Forensic Clinical dicine is relatively less challenging.
If during exams Forensic Clinical dicine presents troubles due to its broad scope, once at work, everything is manageable—if you forget sothing, just turn to a book or search Baidu.
Those coming in for an injury assessnt often lack the ability to hover over the forensic doctor’s shoulder, asking what he’s doing.
“If you encounter any problems later, talk to privately.
Don’t discuss anything in front of the injured party or their family, especially judgnt on the level of injury.
Don’t express your opinion,” Wu Jun instructed Jiang Yuan as they walked, explaining, “The focus of an injury assessnt is the individual, which can easily lead to disputes.”
“Understood, Master.”
Wu Jun nodded and continued teaching, “Minor injuries do not bear criminal responsibility, and the associated civil compensation is not of the sa magnitude as for light injuries.
The essence between second-degree light injury and first-degree light injury isn’t significant, but when it cos to sentencing, second-degree might end up with a year and a half of imprisonnt, while first-degree could go up to three years.
Both plaintiffs and defendants keep a keen eye on this report, which is the most critical thing to be careful about.”
“Got it,” Jiang Yuan nodded again.
Wu Jun smiled and then led Jiang Yuan downstairs to the injury assessnt room.
The injury assessnt room of the Criminal Science and Technology Squadron was located in an annex building about half the size of a classroom.
It was divided into two rooms, each with a door plate; the inner room was the examination room, and the outer room was the reception area.
The examination room had only one bed, a chair, and a movable screen.
The outer room was equipped with a normal desk and chair, along with a computer, printer, etc.
The overall design of the injury assessnt room was in shades of blue and white, which if described, slightly resembled the infirmary from a Japanese movie -_-||.
Wu Jun sat down in the reception area, booted up the computer, and asked Jiang Yuan to hand out several forms for the injured party and their family to fill out.
After a while, once the signatures were completed, Wu Jun led them into the examination room and had the injured man sit on the bed.
The injured man looked to be in his thirties, maybe forties; it was hard to determine his age since he was alive.
His gaze was dull as he stared at the door, only lifting his eyelids when he saw Wu Jun and Jiang Yuan enter.
“Please sit,” Wu Jun said calmly, similar to when he dissected bodies.
He took out a pair of gloves and quietly put them on, then asked, “Where is the injury?”
“Almost had my son’s head cracked open,” the injured man’s mother lanted emotionally, “My son is a programr, I asked him to resign and co back ho, isn’t this helping build our hotown?
Then there was this traffic accident, and he got beaten…”
“Where exactly was he hit?” Wu Jun asked, focusing on the facts.
“Right on the head, look here, it’s been stitched already.
When he was first injured, it was all torn flesh and blood…” The injured man’s mother stepped forward, took off her son’s cap, and a scar from the stitches appeared at the top of his forehead.
“Two centiters by three centiters, roughly 6 square centiters, and concerning the location…” Wu Jun eyed the injured man’s hairline and suddenly lapsed into thought.
After a brief reflection, Jiang Yuan understood why Wu Jun was contemplative.
For Forensic Clinical dicine assessnts, the head and face aren’t the sa location—they are divided into head and facial injuries.
A facial wound reaching 4.5 square centiters ets the criteria for second-degree light injury, while a head wound must be at least 8 square centiters to et that criterion.
For most people, distinguishing between the head and face is quite simple: inside the hairline is considered the head, and outside the hairline is the face.
Now, a programr with a receding hairline, with an injury of 6 square centiters above the brow ridge by about a finger’s width, should it be classified as a second-degree light injury or as a minor injury?
At that mont, Wu Jun took out a ruler again and began asuring the distance from the injured man’s eyebrow line to the base of his nose.
Jiang Yuan silently agreed, indeed, in this situation, one must consider him as bald.
And for a bald person, the hairline is determined by the distance from the base of the nose to the eyebrow line—if it’s 8 centiters, then the position of the hairline is 8 centiters above the eyebrow line.
Jiang Yuan watched as the injury on the programr was classified within the effective area of the face.
Second-degree light injury locked in!
The corners of Jiang Yuan’s mouth twitched involuntarily as he observed that the programr’s forehead seed unusually narrow.
The truth is, an equal division of the facial thirds, including the upper, middle, and lower thirds—from the hairline to the eyebrow line, from the eyebrow line to the base of the nose, and from there to the chin—is a standard of facial aesthetics.
The length of these thirds for most people will slightly deviate.
The programr in question had a naturally shorter upper third compared to the middle third.
But because of the receded hairline, when undergoing the injury assessnt, he seed to have gained an advantage.
Had it been soone with the sa facial structure but thick hair and no receded hairline, the injury would only be considered a head injury and would be classified as a minor injury.
A misfortune may turn into a blessing!
This might be considered good news for him.
